Message, in writing; was received from tho PreSident of the United States, which the Speaker declared to be confiden tial.

NON-IMPORTATION ACT. Mr. NEWTON said it would be recolithed by the House, that on Monday next, the 14th, the law pro hibiting the importation of certain gOods, wares, and, merchandize, would go into operation ; and it was also known, that this law, in its present state, was exttemely, deleFlive. For the purpose of pre venting the perplexities which might arise from these deals, he offered the following trSOilltiOn : Resolved, That the Committee of Commerce and Mann. fattures be instructed to inquire whether any, and if any, what, `alterations are necessary to be made in the Ad bearing date the 18th day of April, tgoii, prohibiting the importation of certain goods, wares, and merchandize ; ith the powesi to report by Bill . or otherwise. He s lid, it was the duty of all Governments to prevent liti;;ation . and to amend any . .of their law 3 which were tound to give rise to it. The Resolution as agreed to —ayes 84. The Hduse went into a Committee of the whole on the Bill from the Senate, making an appropria-. tion of 850,000 dollars for the building of 188 ad ditional Gun-boats. .•, Mr. MiLNER movedtO strike out the words' eighty. eight: He thought a less number of Gun-boats, in addition to those we already had, would be quite sufficient. He said, that the aggressions com mitted on our.commerce could not have been pre vented by any nuMber of Gunboats. A few Fri gates would better e4able us to avenge the insults offered us. He was no friend to a large navy; but be thought that a few Ships would be of great itn. poitance to this.country. This Motion' occasioned considerable debate. It was opposed by Messrs. Burwell, Crowninshield, and Blount, and advocated by Mr. Milner; when the ques'tion.was taken, and the amendment was The, Bill was, then agreed to without amend ment. The same Committee, of the whole proceeded to consider the Bill making fOrther provision for the proteetion of oui: Ports and Harbours, and tOr building Gun-boats. Considerable debate also took Place on this Bill ; but before it W3S pile through, a Motion was made, that the Qommittee of the whole rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again. —This Motion was agreed to. The Committee of the whole then rose, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. Mr. BLOUNT immediately moved, that the House again resolve itself into a Committee of the whole on the same Bills. This motion was agreed to; and the lionce no &gain* went into a Committee of the whole on the same tobjed. . _ Another motion was soon after mad and carried, that the Committee of the whole again report' progress, and ask leave to sit . again. . • Mr. DANA offered the following Resolution : • Resolved, That it is expedient to 'provide for regulating the conch 8, of such Merchant Vesstils,. as, by .agrteinent - of the resin lain owners, may sail' in Concert for mutual as,i4- slice and cctence in any lawful ; and also for set tling, acct rding to the course of. proceeding in Courts:of Ad.. the respective rates of contribution to be Matte be tween them on account of.any loss or damage Which nzay be thereby incurred.. .. . Mr. CROWNINSHIELD Wis Opposed to going into any regulation on the subjea. Were we willing, he asked, to allow our Merchant Vessels ta arm them Selves.,, and go in .a . body, While we were in. a state, of neutrality? Ot; Were. we ,prepared to deny. the right of search of r+lereramt Vessels for contra ,baud goods ?' Although, he said, we might be' ohliged'to have recourse .to the mode pointed out in the negotiation, cter, at the present time, it would be improper to adopt it. Mr.s.ak - Nit 'said that it was not the objeet' of the 11 , solution to change the situation of'Opr at airs with regard to foreign nations : it was `Merely in tended as a permanent national regulation: We had laws,' he said, regulating the distribution of :prize- tnoney, and the .amount of salvage in cases of .re-capture; these were permanent laws; and yet • they only operated in time of war. If, after discus-. sion,• the House should conceive that it was impro per to adopt the principle contained in the Resultl4, tion, might be rejected. The Resonation was a4reed to, and made the or der of the day for Monday next. Mr.' Nawrort, from the. Committee of Com merce and MatmfaCtures, presented " A bill Sup plementary to the Act prohibiting the^ importation of certain goods, wares, and tnerchandize )" which was made the order of the day for Thursday next—and thin the .

On Monday. _ _ The House proceeded to consider the Beport of the Conyittee of the whOle. yesterday, on the Bill from the Seuatq making appropriations for building 188 , additional Gqn-boats. Considerable 'ebate arose on. agreeing to said Bill, occasioned by a motion to strike out the words " 188 Gun=boats,' and insert' " 124 Gun-boats, and 4 Frigates of 44 i;• _guns each." The questioh was taken on the amend. nient, and it Was lost, ayes 10. • The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time'lo-Morrow. The Honse . then adjourned at balf-past, two o'clock. NEW.YORK; U.

Whether this ru-i moor is well founded (and the prediaions , of vassal age thereby verified), a very short time will fur n i s h a fUll'explanation.

SO large a proportion of the Publications of the present day consist of mere coMpilation; that the Author-of an •orignal work has,a. decided -claim on the public attention.4The Work above-mentioned has _recently issued from the Press, and appears to us to supply very successfully an. acknowledged de sideratum in English Literature. Of the different Lives contained in it, ,;our attention has been most, strongly attraaed.by that nf Wentworth. .We pre sent our Readers with an Extra& relative to circum stances not generally known, and which occurred in 1635, 'sorne'years after Wentworth had been made Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by Charles I. " Elated with the unexampled success of measures, 'Wentworth justly boasted in..hi; dis patches, of the important services which he had ren dered to the Crown. He spoke of vexatious em barrassments succeeded by an ample revenue ;, of importunate demands superseded by an unlimitted prerogative. He declared that if his Majesty was hereafter disappointed of any reasonable desire in Ireland, it might justly be laid to the charge of the Deputy : for now,' said he, the king is as abso lute here as any prince in the whole world can be.' " The vast and gratifying acquisitions, which he had so rapidly made for the Crown, emboldened Wentworth to aspire to some of the Sovereign's re wards. An Earldom had, in his eyes,. peculiar charms t and, as he had little reason to.expedt a refusal where titles had been so freely distributed,a he ventured to express his desire to the king. He intimated that this distin6tion, while it added digni ty.to his person, would greatly•assist his future use feiness:, _by affording an unequivocal proof of his. • Majesty's approbation and favour. But Charles was by no means se Well inclined togrant this request as the suitor expected. He hadindeed been very lavish in his commendations of the Deputy, and must have . been sensible of the important services which he had rendered. But Wentworth was no longer to be gained over : wholly disjoined from the Opposi _lion, he was now irrevocably devoted to the Court ; and while he extended the regal power in Ireland, he also gratified his own ambition. It was true that the Deputy had conferred on the. Crown benefits which even exceeded expectation : but his admini ,,tretion was only begun,; still greater cervices wars to - be expeaed ii . tim him : and it might hot ba ;In poiitic for-tii Stiverei4u to -:etain iti his,liancis 'au incentive; which aprieareki so alluring, to roe ambi. tion—of - his Mitii,te;', , rt , lhere Were yet. ot her re: - ..:0n s for rcceivillg the .5 appli, w i lt, or Wentworth with coldness. , Tnrc,-ngll eiAlliifiAszinig faeility Charl es often earned from liii : Courtierr the praise of lib, ality, 17,7 grantsei tremely prejudicial to. his ailairs ; and tlniugh era scious of his imprulence, yet l,e wanted resoln!too to repress their impOttunizy by flat denials. Froth .the unbouncied coinpl , ;vani . .o of Wentworth to the Sovereign, and ins hanghtine,s to the stO.i jeat, Charles was led LO eveat that the Deputy might be induced to aa an intermediate part be t Ween-the and his courtiers, leave all the merit of cogossion.to - hiS Majesty, and take upon him self thci :whole 9ditam of denial. In recoMmencling to Wetter:hien some grants on the Irish Establish mentl Charles desired Wentworth to concede or re.: fuse thost,.;as. the good of the , Service, required ; yet, so too,'-added he, as I 'may have thanks howsoever ; that if there be any thing to be denied you may do - it, not I: This ungracious oti - iee, re- peatedly urged . with more earnestness than delicacy, Wentworth undertook with the most loyal devo tion ; and having also voluntarily stood forward ,c 6 refuse the noxious graces, he had accumulated upon himself a load of displeasure, both from the English courtiers and the Irish people. But however accept able this service, Charles was aware that, by con ferring upon this Minister any marked distillation, Lie would seem to approve every part of his conduct; his imperious speeches, his harsh refusals, and thus draw upon himself a portion of that odium he was so solicitous to , avoid. His reply to Wentworth's kJ plication obscurely intimated these sentiments. Ho thanked him for taking ...pon himself the reftisal of the graces 'he assured him he was not displeased at his request, since noble minds are always accom panied with lawful ambitions : but he, hoped that he would patiently wait the time of favour, and allovi hinato doill things in his own manner. . cr Tlit 'refusal ill corresponded with the estimate whichlVdiftorth-had formed of his deserts; Whiie he subtnissbrely:thanked the king for his gracioni reply, he could riot refrain from expressing h;i cha grin in a letter to Lord Cottiogton, his colletTae in administration.

On enquiry it turned, out that Mr. John lowa Foster Roper, a Midshipman belonging to, his} Majesty's 74-gun Ship the l 4 oullon, had been ing at the Golden Cross, with the Surgeon, till the evening of the robbery, when the burgeon went out to a ball.. When he was gone, the Midshipmart told the porter to get him:an oyster-knife; he hav ing lost the key of his trunk u and to go with him to break it open, which he accordingly did ; but the trunk proved to be the Sprgeon's, who, on hi , . re 4 turn, disemered that the above sums were taken, and that Ain Roper had left the Inn, and carried every thing except a' neW pair dt: boots.

Th e draft was drawn by L. Johnon, upon l‘fessrs L e e, Satterthwaite, and Co. for freight of the Lord Barham east Indiaman. Anthony went to.
